Applications Extension

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Group Policy includes the Applications preference extension. For users, this extension allows you to configure settings for a specific version of an application for which you have installed a preference plug-in. The available settings vary with the application and version.

Getting started

You can create and configure Application preference items for any domain-based Group Policy object (GPO). You configure the settings by editing a GPO using the Group Policy Management Console. When editing a GPO, you can find this preference extension at the following location:

└ Preferences

└ Windows Settings

└ Applications

Important

You must install a preference plug-in before you can create and configure Application preference items.
